Knock Out 30 points (the guy actually gets knocked out), TKOs 20 points (referee stops a match as a KO), 10 points tap out, 5 points for take downs, 2 point for each strike with arms, 3 points for each strike with the legs, spinning + jumping techniques get extra +2 points since they are harder to pull off in MMA.

Nah, Russians ain't that good, second place I would say definitely.

They don't even use the current scoring rules properly
One FC has separate striking & grappling points which might be better
I don't see how you decide whether striking > grappling* except if you have each fighter select a priority before the fight starts, and then they're judged based on how well they do at that priority
So a wrestler vs a boxer, the wrestler is judged on his offensive grappling and control, and the striker is judged on whether he was able to outstrike the other guy
This is retarded for obvious reasons but the alternative is to decide - or have judges decide - whether striking or grappling is more important, in the moment.
The current scoring criteria already does this (striking > grappling) but the judges don't actually follow it really so they're doing this and the fans don't care
>>
>>165706
The meta for scoring big is to control the grappling and strike a bit to show that you are "damaging" the guy and not just hugging him like a fag.

I love the new MMA leagues and events coming from my country. This one seems pretty cool. A fellow football hooligan that I go to the gym with was fighting in a 3v3 cage match, unfortunately he got slammed to the ground right at the start.

Also, amerimutts, why football hooliganism isn't a thing in the US?

Like, when I see a US basketball or american football match it seems like it's a family event where people dance and shit, like what the fuck? A football match here ends in a mini riot most of the time and during "high risk" matches there are literally thousands of policemen, most of them in riot armor. One of my friends ended up in an ICU with a smashed liver because he wore a cap with our club logo in the enemy city.

Because america falls more into individualism. Most people don't give a shit about what you do or like as long as you don't get in their way. Plus, why fight people when you can just watch hockey players fight each other?

And you also have karate schools on every corner but how many muay Thai gyms are near you?
Casuals want to do something easy, which gi is easy
You can just grab on and start tugging people around and immediately it feels like it's working
Nogi is hard because it's so slippery and There's nothing to hold on to, you have to be way more engaged and moving much faster and you really can't cheat submissions you have to have them absolutely locked in or you lose them

This of course makes it way better for fighting but also not really as appealing to casuals

BJJ destroys bodies. Just google "BJJ ruined my life." There are all kinds of warm fuzzy stories about how BJJ saves someones soul during a hard time in their life or some shit like that. But that's all you're going to get in the end from doing this shit. All martial arts carry this risk, some more than others, and BJJ is a pretty bad offender. It shouldn't come as a surprise. The more technical the art the greater the chance for error, either in applying force or properly receiving it. If you are already worried about injury. Stay the fuck away from BJJ.
>>
>>161792
You are already slightly retarded as a boxing amateur, how many hits to your head have you taken?
>>
I was training and competing in muay thai for seven years before starting BJJ.

I’ve been hurt more often and more severely in two years of BJJ than I have in nine years of Muay Thai including matches. I have multiple chronic injuries that I’m on waiting lists for surgery to deal with. One of the injuries is a cervical disc injury that could make me paralyzed from the neck down if it starts affecting the spinal cord.

BJJ is fun and good but if you still want to compete in boxing, or lifting, or just want healthy longevity, I recommend you avoid all acrobatic sporty movements and to stick to the old school fundamentals. Discriminate with who you train with and stick to guys your own size or smaller/higher belts who can flow roll, and tap immediately if somebody tries to stack you or crank your neck relentlessly in training.

This is Retard shit, you’re not going to have time to take off your fucking belt while someone is trying to stab you and swinging your keys “like a morning star” is far less effective than taking a single key and shoving it in their fucking eye. Regardless, the best thing you can do in a knife attack is get control of their weapon arm so that they are unable to stab you. Learn to grapple, faggots

I need advice from boxers, I am 21 y/o and I have been boxing for about 2 years and my coach has been egging me on to fight in amateur. What are some things I should expect?

> I can only train about 2-3 hours a day which is usually how much I train, is that enough?

> I have been doing boxing as a hobby and an outlet I take the training seriously but do I have to be 100% passionate about boxing to succeed? I have many other hobbies I like to do but I just don’t want it to completely consume my life.

do NOT be surprised if you feel extremely anxious before your first bout. I was so anxious that I ended up throwing up in a bucket. I still won though but the main point is that you should not let your nerves get the better of you

Do you like swimming? I tried picrel today and I became a speed demon under the water. It was very fun.
Is swimming a too limited/personal for a sport to be talked about on /xs/?

I didn't realise I was doing this til I went to ollie over something. Realised I need to stay more square over my board. It wasn't really shoulders or legs or anything but just keeping my whole body more parallel. I also think just being comfy on your board, that it's a bit of a mental/safety thing. I'll go a couple months off the board and then try pick up where I left off.
No clips because I realised what I need to work on and it's a bit embarrassing. Also tried the heelflip advice and they felt so much more comfy when i keep my feet more centred pre trick. Keeping my back foot centred eliminated that rotation I was getting.

I do it all the time in MMA with guys who are 40lbs heavier than me and have trained a year or two. Just outstrike them or take them down and transition to a back take/leg lock or if they take me down just wrestle up and transition to the back

it’s easy if you’re good, still a massive injury risk though cause their sheer weight can make accidents worse

I have been fighting since 13 and never stoped, I have at least 50 medals and 3 trophys here and it is simple, just go take classes and compete ... there is no big secret

Go to the fighting gym you have at your disposal and practice like a man, can't get any simpler than that

if you win against experienced ppl you're good to go if not you're weak and need to practice more

This, pick a versatile art you like enough to stick with, also practice running, jumping, climbing, overhead pressing and deadlifting.

Forgot to mention loaded carries on top, improves your deadlifts, improves your cleans, improves your overhead pressing structure and leg strength, improves your posture.

What's not to love about loaded carries?

fuck all those other exercises, they don't matter, just learn how to fight and that is it, you'll be good to go for anything, good fighters can run enough to save themselves without training for it

Get a friend to spar with, shoulder strikes only, learn to avoid and control the distance, if you want to add in jabs/crosses, make sure to hit only chest and use the same principle as point fighting in karate just to get better at distance management, this is done so you don't have to bear injuries from training.

No weak punches allowed.
